  1. In Netscape, press the OPEN button
  2. In the blank provided, type ftp://username@www2.netdoor.com
  3. Netscape will then prompt you for a password. Enter your login password here.
  4. When the directory tree comes up, you will be in / which is now your home directory
  5. Select File, then Upload File...
